"QUILTING" and "SEWING" classes at my Studio............

I am so pleased...it's been 3 months since I have arrived in Springdale, NL and things are falling into place in my Studio so that classes can begin....the first ones have been confirmed...here are the details:

******************************************

“NATURE’S CHORUS” Applique PillowWorkshop===============================A really fun project - suitable for anyone with just a little sewing knowledge…..- able to use a sewing machine, sew a straight line, comfortable with a needle and threadWith that and a desire to attend a fun-filled workshop with other sewers and quilters; you can share ideas; have a fun time and in the end, head home with a beautiful appliquéd decorative pillow.

Do you have a sewing machine and want to learn to sew/quilt? Or perhaps you don’t have a sewing machine but would like to learn anyways?

Are you unsure of how to start, which tools to buy, what fabric to select, which colors to use? Intimidated by so-called easy patterns, large classes and all the expense?

Join me and learn to choose fabrics with confidence, cut, piece, press and sew accurately and quilt easily. Create projects to warm your home and make gifts for those special people for whom you wish to give a gift from the heart.

Lots of individual instruction: Studio Class size is limited to 6.

Bring your own machine… and to be able thread it and sew a line;and I’ll teach you the rest.

Note:If you do not have a machine, machines are available for class use. If you have a machine but is not able to thread and use it – a short session can be arranged to cover this step.

Project 1Design and sew a quilt block, then make it into a pillow top

This class focuses on stitching an accurate 1/4 inch seam to piece a traditional style block.

About Me

Quilting is my passion! Fabric has been a part of my life since I sat at my grandmother’s knee and watched her creatve wonderful things on her antique WHITE machine; manuyally turning that machine to work magic.
Home décor has already played a big role in my professional life; and truly, fabric has followed me all the way.... But quilting and patchwork is my absolute passion; especially WOOL APPLIQUE.
Quilting is like coloring when I was a kid - except my crayons now are called fabrics and wools.....and my coloring book pages are the creations made with these pieces.
I am thankful and blessed with the ability to be a part of this huge quilting .
My Quilting World revolves around my Quilting Studio, where I have fun and create; and also supply fun quilting and sewing books, patterns and notions to my clients; to my office where I am often found penning for my blog, or at my sewing machine where I enjoy turning scraps into treasures.
Yes, I enjoy patchwork, but I am also totally head-over-heels in love with Wool Applique.
My other joy is to share with all of you - my fellow creative friends, in this fabulous creative world!
Blessings to all,
Bill
